"Every Person Has A Right To An Opinion": Amartya Sen On Naseeruddin Shah's Remarks | Read

Nobel laureate Dr Amartya Sen has taken a leaf out of the BJP book and suggested the renaming of two things -- the "science" that claims Kauravas were test-tube babies, and Nalanda, the university which no longer conforms to the Buddhist ideals it once stood for. Speaking to NDTV after a seminar at Asiatic Society in Kolkata today, Dr Sen urged those attacking Naseeruddin Shah to desist. "Every human being has the right to an opinion, a right to express and resist what he thinks is wrong," he said.
